ATM keypad overlay and ATM/Debit Card Skimmer

ATM keypad overlay and ATM Card Skimmer (yes, they come in English versions). This device is overlaid onto an existing ATM machine keypad and allows the ATM machine to function properly while it records the keystrokes (i.e., steals customer PIN's). The card slot overlay simultaneously records the data on the ATM cards magnetic strip. Thieves download the collected information onto a computer at a later time and can clone the stolen ATM card onto blank card stock.

Credit Debit ATM card reader and writer. Due to the larger size of this device it is primarily used to “write” stolen data from the magnetic stripe on the back of a card onto a new blank card (which can be blank card stock or an old credit card which has been made blank). Once a card has been written it is recognized by machines as the original card.

 

 

Credit Card Skimmer
